El origen del universo y otras conversaciones sobre ciencia en forma de c mic.

El f sico Clifford Johnson cree que deber amos tener m s conversaciones sobre ciencia. La ciencia debe estar en nuestro men diario de conversaci n, junto con temas como la pol tica, los libros, los deportes o el ltimo drama televisivo. Las conversaciones sobre ciencia, nos dice, no deber an dejarse en manos de los expertos.

En Los Di logos, Clifford nos invita a escuchar a escondidas una serie de nueve conversaciones en forma de novela gr fica, escrita y dibujada por l, sobre la naturaleza del universo. Estas conversaciones suceden en lugares de alrededor del mundo: en museos, en trenes y en restaurantes. Los conversadores son hombres, mujeres, ni os, expertos y aficionados a la ciencia. Una vez hemos sido testigos de sus conversaciones, que tratan temas que van desde la ciencia de la cocina hasta el multiverso y la teor a de cuerdas, quiz s ya podamos empezar una nosotros mismos.

Es de esta manera que Johnson propone el c mic como plataforma perfecta para explicar la f sica, ya que, como suele decirse, una imagen vale m s que mil palabras.

Es muy probable que los lectores de Los di logos aprecien la forma tan nica con la que Johnson enfoca las conversaciones sobre f sica con el p blico general y que admiren su pasi n por esta disciplina. -Physics Today.

El nuevo libro de Johnson, Los di logos, es una exploraci n que penetra en cuestiones tanto antiguas como modernas sobre la naturaleza del universo. Me ha parecido un libro cautivador, y el formato de novela gr fica no ha hecho m s que acentuar esa impresi n. -Adam Frank, National Public Radio.

Los di logos ilustra c mo la ciencia puede ser un tema corriente de conversaci n para todo el mundo. -CBC.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A series of conversations about science in graphic form, on subjects that range from the science of cooking to the multiverse.

Physicist Clifford Johnson thinks that we should have more conversations about science. Science should be on our daily conversation menu, along with topics like politics, books, sports, or the latest prestige cable drama. Conversations about science, he tells us, shouldn't be left to the experts. In The Dialogues, Johnson invites us to eavesdrop on a series of nine conversations, in graphic-novel form--written and drawn by Johnson--about "the nature of the universe." The conversations take place all over the world, in museums, on trains, in restaurants, in what may or may not be Freud's favorite coffeehouse. The conversationalists are men, women, children, experts, and amateur science buffs. The topics of their conversations range from the science of cooking to the multiverse and string theory. The graphic form is especially suited for physics; one drawing can show what it would take many words to explain.

In the first conversation, a couple meets at a costume party; they speculate about a scientist with superhero powers who doesn't use them to fight crime but to do more science, and they discuss what it means to have a "beautiful equation" in science. Their conversation spills into another chapter ("Hold on, you haven't told me about light yet"), and in a third chapter they exchange phone numbers. Another couple meets on a train and discusses immortality, time, black holes, and religion. A brother and sister experiment with a grain of rice. Two women sit in a sunny courtyard and discuss the multiverse, quantum gravity, and the anthropic principle. After reading these conversations, we are ready to start our own.
